  • Why wouldn’t it?

    It’s talking about two things “AI” which is actually a pretty good use of the label

    1. Generatinga lower Rez screen and upscaling.

    2. Generating addition frames based on what might happen in between real screens

    There’s no valid reason not to use that. Hardware costs more so you’d be paying a lot more money for the same performance. With less people making that choice, the price differential would be even greater.

    Like, this is right. They can’t make them without this for low enough people will buy it.

    It’s facts bro

    The way to save democracy is getting shady money out of the Dem primary so that the people who make it to the general actually want to fix it.

    If we don’t, then the people with a financial reason not to fix it, will never fix it.

    We can’t change it for the general without having the numbers to pass laws, so it’s pointless to even discuss fixing the general till we fix the Dem primary.

    All the “moderates” that take that shady money in primaries tho are going to bitch and.moan that we have to do it backwards, because they don’t want it to happen

    Just because someone has a D by their name, doesn’t mean they want democracy




  • Obviously, I do t know anything that’s not in the article…

    But…

    We’re looking at drafted soldiers, and officers that were likely career military before…

    There’s a reason why America stopped doing that even if the kids today don’t know where “fraggin” comes from.

    In Vietnam, it wasn’t just because they hated their Officer, it was also if their last one got killed legitimately and the new guy was obviously going to get you and your buddies killed. In that environment, it doesn’t matter if your officer is trying to get you killed or is incompetent.

    And especially today with all the media and propaganda, it’s hard to say this one was some kind of spy or intentionally causing Russian causalities.

    But its just as likely he’s an old school “a soldier is a soldier, stop playing video games” type of guy.

    To the troops that can look like intentional sabotage. When troops start thinking their officers will get them killed…

    I can’t think of a nation off the top of my head that won a war like that.

    The closest would be when the Nazis invaded Russia and any Russians that ran got shot by the Russians behind them.

    But that wasn’t their officers. That was the officers and troops behind them that would be doing the same thing in days or even hours.

    If Russian troops start thinking the best way to stay alive is kill their officers, we’re gonna start seeing a lot of dead officers, especially with Russia’s reliance on criminals and mercenaries these days.






  • We couldn’t talk about Biden ignoring facts and repeating foreign propaganda when he was the candidate because trump…

    He ain’t the fucking candidate anymore, but Kamala and the party holding him accountable for this shit and pushing for him to get out now if he’s really demented enough to still believe Israel, would really help nonvoters see the difference.

    Show people who aren’t planning on voting that at least one option holds themselves accountable.

    In a statement, Joe Biden cited evidence provided in the IDF’s initial inquiry, saying the “preliminary investigation has indicated that it was the result of a tragic error resulting from an unnecessary escalation”. The US president also told reporters that Eygi was killed probably as the result of a bullet ricochet, and “apparently it was an accident”.

    But a Washington Post report said that protests had subsided before Israeli forces opened fire, indicating that there was no immediate threat to the soldiers and little justification to target Eygi or any other protesters with live fire.

    According to the investigation, Eygi was “shot more than a half-hour after the height of confrontations in Beita, and some 20 minutes after protesters had moved down the main road – more than 200 yards (183 metres) away from Israeli forces”.

    The potential target, a Palestinian teenager who was wounded by Israeli fire, was standing about 18 metres away from Eygi, witnesses told the Post.

    The investigation was based on accounts from 13 witnesses and more than 50 videos and photos provided by the International Solidarity Movement, as well as Faz3a, another Palestinian advocacy group.




  • While I agree the easiest path to a Dem victory is taking the common sense stance of “we won’t support genocide” the math in this article seems a little off:

    In a survey conducted over two days in late August, 1,076 registered voters from around the country pitched in with their preferences – and despite the widespread anger directed toward the Biden administration and Democrats for bankrolling Israel’s year-long war on Gaza, 29.4 percent of respondents said they will still vote for the party.

    But hot on Harris’ heels, 29.1 percent said they will vote for Stein, who has controversially said that what is happening in Gaza “makes any genocide pale by comparison” and has made ending the war a key pillar of her party platform.

    29.4% is slightly better than 29.1%

    Biden has a concept of not supporting a genocide…

    He’s “looking into it” like he is everything else voters went hoarse screaming at him to do.

    It’s one of the benefits of being in your 80s, your memory is so shit you have practically no worries, anytime someone yells at you for enabling a genocide, it’s like it never happened 10 seconds later.

    Most things that happen you just completely fucking forget 10 seconds later.



  • I love how MBFC is automated and OP is just choosing to ignore this:

    MBFC: Conspiracy-Pseudoscience - Credibility: Low - Factual Reporting: Low - Bulgaria

    The only thing that’s not instantly disqualifying there is that it’s from Bulgaria…

    But its clearly stated in the rules

    Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
